ARTS VS CULTURE

The word Art came from Latin meaning skill, hence the word Artisan.

Arts didn't exist until 18th century Humanism, it was all Culture, from Cults.

Arts split from Culture in the same way that Philosophy split from Theology in the 18th century.
The concept of Secular Art, art for the sake of art, was unknown in antiquity and middle ages, until Humanism.

Then, when God was removed from the equation, Humanists reformatted meaning to new words, Arts in lieu of Culture and Philosophy in lieu of Theology.
Until Humanism, all creation of figurines, all paintings, were simply Culture, humans negotiating with Cults, the artist was like the mason or woodworker, nothing else.

Humanism made Artists a separate field of work, splitting it from Cult creation, hence Secular Art.
Up until 18th century, the global establishments of all human communities were about Humans NEGOTIATING good vs evil with the Divine/Natural Forces.

Religion vs Secular, Culture vs Art, Theology vs Philosophy are Humanist Inventions from the 18th century.
Ignorant Interpretation of Hellenism by the West, plus Protestantism plus Interpretation of Christ's saying that Give Caesar What Belongs to Caesar, caused the academic separation between Earthly and Divine from the 18th century.

Catholic

Fascinating that the term Catholic Church, is still a declaration of Hellenism. It is in Ancient Hellenic, Katholikos.

Which explains why Hellenism died in Byzantium, but thrived in the West.

If you preach Catholicism, you start with preaching Hellenism first.
And that explains the failure of Christianity to spread in already existing cultures outside the Roman Empire.

Persians, Chinese, Indians etc would never accept to be taught Hellenism as superior to their culture.
By christianising, the church de facto hellenises first, and then preaches Christ.

Which explains Copts, Armenians, Assurians etc. They felt their culture was not inferior to Hellenism.

KOSOVA

Problemi thelbësor i politikës së Prishtinës shpjegohet thjesht e qartë tek terminologjia, Dialogu Prishtinë-Beograd, dhe këtu qëndron dështimi.

Dialogu duhej të ishte Tiranë-Beograd, jo Prishtinë-Beograd.
Çështja thelbësore është nëse Kosova është Serbi apo Kosova është Shqipëri.

Ideja që Kosova është Kosovë u shpik nga Ibrahim Rugova.

Tashmë ajo ide ka dështuar.

Kosova nuk mund të jetë.....Kosovë.
Dhe problemi automatikisht shfaqet në Diplomacy.

Tirana dhe Prishtina NUK kanë Diplomacy, sepse Elita Shqiptare është ndarë në Bajraqe Ekonomikë të stilit 1878-1920.

I vetmi person që ne shqiptarët kemi tani që bën diplomaci ndërkombëtare është Ismail Kadare.

BOSNIAN IDENTITY

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_Kulin

It is absolutely fascinating that Bosnians claim to be a Nation based on Kulin and Bogomilism, which were Christian Sects, but who converted to Islam.

1/
That reinforces the self evident fact that identities were created on religion, not ethnicity.

So, we have Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats, and Bogomilist Bosnians, 3 different christian denominations for the same..........ethnicity, who speak the exact same language.

2/3
So, if you don't like me when I say that Bosniaks are Muslim Serbs, I can easily revert that to Serbs being Orthodox Bosniaks.

You get my point.

Ethnicity = bosnian-croatian-serbian (south slav)

SHQIPTARIZMI

Ndarja Katolik-Ortodoks ndodhi de fakto vetëm pas vitit 1870, Këshilli Vatikan I, që vendosi Pagabueshmërinë e Papës, dhe vendosi që Kisha e Romës të quhet zyrtarisht Kisha Katolike.

1/
Deri në atë moment, fjala katolik kishte kuptimin e besimit të plotë pa cen, e cila është një fjalë në greqishten koine të vjetër Katholikos.

Kush nuk ishte katolik, ishte automatikisht skizmatik (jo i krishterë i plotë) apo heretik (armik i kishës).

2/
Një kishë e krishterë e çfarëdolloj denominacioni, nëse nuk është katolike, atëherë nuk është e krishterë.

Vatikani I në 1870 pati efekt në dy drejtime

1) Pronëzoi fjalën Katolik

2) Pranoi denominacionet e tjera si të krishtera, jo si skizmatike apo heretike.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban goes full Christian Nationalism officially.

Muslims are back to being deemed as unfit to be European.

Europe was designed as 'not-Muslim' during and after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

The same design still goes strong as we tweet.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
(New Living Translation)
For everything there is a season,
A time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.

1/
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

2/
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
